Kanye West is nothing if not consistent. As the sole hip-hop headliner at this year's Essence Music Festival Saturday (July 2) night, the Chicago MC did not disappoint, offering up a visual feast complete with pyrotechnics, nearly two dozen dancers and elaborate lighting. Broken up into three acts, the Louis Vuitton Don ran through more than 20 songs, ranging from tracks off his debut album to hi...

Long before Amber Rose amped up her notoriety by appearing on the arm of Kanye West, there was another woman who held his heart: Alexis Phifer.
The fashion designer was once engaged to West and although their break-up became the inspiration for his '808's and Heartbreaks' album, Phifer has remained quiet about their relationship, until now.
In an interview with Vibe Magazine, Phifer broke do...

In what might be the oddest pairing of the year, Kanye West and Mary-Kate Olsen were spotted getting cozy earlier this week. The pair was seen hanging together at Submercer Nightclub in NYC on Wednesday night at West's 35th birthday party, E!Online.com reports. In fact, eyewitnesses claim they were kissing.

Everyone can let out a sigh of relief; Rick Ross isn't the only curvaceous body gracing the cover of Vibe's June/July Sexy issue. While a shirtless Ross valiantly tries to redefine modern day sexy, the folks over at Vibe also stuck to the traditional concept of the word and tapped hip-hop's hottest arm candy for their double cover issue: Amber Rose.

Amber Rose did more than just pose for a seductive pictorial in the July/August issue of King magazine, she also fired back at Kanye West for his public jabs at her.

Movies and sun aren't the only thing Kanye West is soaking up in Cannes. The controversial rapper, who is in France for the Cannes Film Festival, is enjoying some affection from the fairer sex as well. He was spotted kissing a mystery blonde on his hotel terrace on Sunday (May 15), and the pair didn't seem to mind putting on a show for photographers.
This throws a big question mark over rumors ...

Amber Rose is letting it all hang out on the July/August issue of The Women of King Magazine, literally and figuratively.
Decked in blue lace lingerie, the blond beauty not only shows off her killer curves but opens up about her personal life, comparing and contrasting her current relationship with rapper Wiz Khalifa to her previous relationship with Kanye West.

Willow Smith and Lady Gaga were digital divas who won big at last night's MTV O Music Awards -- the inaugural awards show celebrating web-savvy recording artists and digital music accomplishments.

Kanye West's charity is no more, according to The Boombox. The Kanye West Foundation, which was intended to prevent teens from dropping out of high school, has suddenly closed without reason, four years after its establishment.
The news was made public after former executive director Joseph Collins sent an email to associates stating that he was out of a job and that the phone had been disconne...

When Kanye West was announced as the Sunday night headliner at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., we were dubious, to say the least. In 2008, we were present for his Bonnaroo debacle -- well, kind of. At about 4AM, with the hot Tennessee dawn a little over an hour away, when the crowd started chanting "Kanye sucks" and without any clear indication of when (or ...
